The Champ
Yep, run from 'em 'til you can determine their motives.
I was in the woods ... I was deep in thought ... I meditated ... I prayed ... I was inspired ... I was moved ... I am back. Send ole blue down to play with ole Max. I stihl use Max the wonderdog to guard the castle and environs. I would give ole blue the best ... Canidae All Stages every sunup and sundown and a Canadie Snap-Biscuit for a treat. That's like a number two, only better.
Two words ... New Champ. I was yakin' with Steve today and like we agreed ... the 026/260 gets dissed ... but it's a fine, reliable, dependable ... do-all saw for 99% of the chainsaw buying public. People get worked up on these brand wars and forget about what concerns many folk ... dealer support and service. You may need a new chain (don't ever get one sharpened in Leesburg, eh) .. you may leave the old mix in too long ... your young 30's/40s divorced ex may need to take your old (ie. her) trimmer in for a new cord (don't worry ... she'll be back), or you may just forget how to operate it.
Teaching people to put a file to the chain every tank, a new chain every now and again, and a new sprocket ring every year will mean more to the average homeowner that Ed's charts on which saw is faster.
Shoot Tommy. I hate to break it to ya, but people don't come to your shop 'cause they like your charm and wit .... it's 'cause you fix their old saws and trimmers.
Messin' with a gent having a serious pipe dream like that is stihl a hangin' offense here in SC. I expect that from a metal head, not from a fiddle player. Young Duncan and I have been hangin' out at guitar joints finding a new 'lectric for him. The PRSi gang just north of you puts out something Duncan's gonna have.
That D28 is nice. Ed like Hummingbirds ... good too. Duncan likes his Larrivee dread with rosewood back and sides. Remember ... it's your ears that have to be pleased. Get 'er stringed and setup for you and who knows .... look out Elvis. I fully expect to see Elvis sightings at a little Stihl shop in Virginny here shortly. Oh ... another tip ... iffin' ya can't play so well ... at least look good doin' it ... Brylcreem.
You are spoiling that pooch of yours Joat. Need to put some grit in his gut. Ole blue now, when I slip some gun powder in his buzzard gizzards no man is safe..
I'm with you, the little 261 seems to put out some good power. Even so no selling my ole trusty 026. Its been doing the job for years, no reason to hang it now. May add a 261 to the clan though, looks like a fun saw.
Got the doo glue for I sure as hell can't play very well, not yet!!!
Oh reminder, blue just asked me how come he doesn't get treats, claims he can play bass,LOLOL
